Department of Labour, Employment and Training has a big role in the state. It has four major responsibilities:

I.It provides Social Security to old age and helpless persons

II.It protects the interests of its working class in the organised and unorganised sectors

III.It implements various labour laws

IV.It produces trained man power.

In order to achieve these broad objectives the state government of Jharkhand participates in all major central initiatives like Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme, Aam Admi Bima Yojna, Upgradation of ITIs, Converting ITIs in Centre of Excellence, etc. While State department is continuing with the most of schemes initiated earlier, they are trying to start a number of new schemes.

Apart from schemes relating to social security; Government of Jharkhand through Department of Labour, Employment and Training is committed to provide modernization of administrative machinery. They are committed to set up at least one I.T.I.(General) in all districts and sub divisions and at least one I.T.I. (Women) in every district so that once they become functional we can train upto 10000 youths through them.

We fully hope that these trained youths in various trades will be able to fill the gap of trained manpower in the state.
